> "There are a number of examples of native libraries being compiled to web assembly" Sure, but these are libraries. They don't provide any utility directly to an end-user. An application still has to wrap them into something that provides access through the Web APIs. Building native libraries for a web target was already possible before WAsm using Emscripten. Surely WAsm is still useful as it offers better performance and memory management, thus expanding the range of projects that can be ported this way, but it's more like an incremental evolution than a revolution.
